I did a lot of research before deciding to choose 3800 and it doesnt disappoint me at all. The high quality images, ease of menu navigation, SLR look and 6x optical zoom as well as some manual options are definitely an attraction to the beginners and even experienced players. The lens cap actually fits very well on the adaper ring and is unlikely to fall off hence you even don't need a UV filter, but i would suggest a circular polarizser.
Problems:
16MB x-D pictuer card included in the package is a bit small. I am waiting for 256 Mb version that will be releasing at the end of Jan.
